Baby It's Cold Outside

We haven't had much snow yet but in the valley that is pretty normal. What we have right now is clear and cold. It is still higher than 20F as the low but not by much. I try to tell my dogs that it is too cold to go for a walk at 5 am but they simply salivate when they even think about a walk and they have a daily routine that doesn't take into account what the weather is like. It's funny because the two dogs are so different. One is a rat terrier. At this point he is our oldest pet but he is bouncy and excited at even the idea of walking and chasing a ball or a frisbee. Our other dog is a bluetick coon hound and he is just a lazy lump of love with a nose. He goes on the walks because he wants to smell all the smells, both new and old, and I carry a treat bag and the poop bags. We got the second dog to keep the first dog company because that worked very well with our previous two--another rat terrier and a border collie. But these two just aren't interested in each other. They aren't antagonist at all, the coonhound is too lazy for that, but there isn't any interaction at all--they simply ignore each other. The coonhound is better friends with the Maine coon cat with daily grooming and dancing.
